Dark Planet is on a temporary hiatus as development is restructured.
An 18+ Scifi Text Adventure
You are nobody, just a lost cause convict on your way to medical assignment in a neighboring solar system. After a series of jarring events, you find yourself stuck on a mysterious planet, tackling mysteries of your bloodline and past, and threatened by strangers intent on claiming what you've been given.
Discover your destiny.
Defeat your enemies.
Turn those enemies into lovers, or maybe something more.
Embrace your power and see what you've become.
The journey is yours.
What is Dark Planet?
Dark Planet is a text adventure game built using the Twine (Sugarcube) engine. You play as a customizable protagonist who has found yourself on a strange planet, with strange new abilities, and countless enemies determined to take that power from you.
Defeating enemies in battle will pacify them, adding them to your settlement where you can interact with them: learn more about them, flirt, or take on a quest to earn their favor.
Romance characters that interest you. Some will be harder to woo than others. Just about every NPC in game will be (eventually) available to you.
Proposition characters you'd like to sleep with. Some characters will be easier to romance, others will be easier to have sex with, and a few will be hard either way.
Train your newfound power to grow your strength, allowing you to explore the mysteries of the planet and venture beyond the settlement. (Not yet implemented)

Release 02: Demo Patch
02/18/2020
Added Content
Added Inventory on sidebar, with a description for each current item
Added images for Raindrop Mushroom & Mineral Sample
Added a "Skip Intro" option, allowing you to build your character all on one page and then drop right into the Settlement (not recommended for first time players)
Added a Cheat Mode! Includes ability to increase/reduce # of quest-related items. Also includes EXP editor but this doesn't currently serve a purpose.
Added code to unlock all NPCs with max relationship stats, exclusive to certain patreon supporters.
Added a new random encounter, involving another basic battle--win and you get a cool new item that will serve greater purpose in the future (also added with image to the inventory)!
Fixes
Fixed variable error that had Winona calling player wrong name
Assorted spelling error fixes
Fixed error where Urdraes' Encounter info wouldn't show up once at the settlement
Resized sidebar UI to better fit Player & Encounter info
Changed link color
Fixed "West Wing" to "West Corridor" in Urdraes win unlock scene
Fixed error of Aekor players not being properly labeled on sidebar
Fixed formatting error in Urdraes dialog
Did some tweaking on the love/lust system to improve functionality and streamline the coding process. Lust will always impact probability of sexual interactions, while love will always impact other interactions (conversations, learning more about them, hanging out). The way I was trying to set it up before just wasn't working.
To that end: NPCs should now properly interact with you based on their love/lust level.
Also also: NPCs will now use up the quest items as you provide them.
Release 01: Demo
02/10/2020
Initial release! This is a working demo, so content is minimal but serves as a proof of concept. Total game will probably take you ~20 minutes, depending on what you do. Some spoilerish details below so stop reading now if you want surprises!
Intro sequence & character customization. No way to skip intro yet, sorry.
Option to designate gender/pronouns, genitals, and visual appearance all as separate entities. Currently only 3 gender options, but I hope to expand upon this in a less binary way in the future.
Basic explore (with 4 random events & 1 NPC encounter). Only one area currently, the Settlement, but future updates will allow travel elsewhere on the planet.
4 NPCs to interact with: ask questions, flirt, etc. Can currently only bang one of them.
Two NPC quests (basic) involving finding supplies for them when out exploring.
Player avatars & avatars for 5 NPCs -- to be improved/replaced in the future.
Lots of fluff text that will impact things more later on once stats are added in.
Rudimentary "battle" system in place until more complex battle mechanics are developed. For demo purposes you're set up to win unless you deliberately lose (hint: just defend a lot).
Currently only one sex scene, for Urdraes, with multiple routes.
2 bad ends (Urdraes).
